VISIONQUEST is What Happens When a GOOD Writer's Room is Pulled Together with a GOOD Showrunner and a GOOD Cast!
It's the best start to a Superhero show since LOKI and has everything it needs to be BETTER!
Instead of Deconstructing and tearing apart the character because you don't have enough writing talent to build them up (Yes I am looking at you LANTERNS), the VISIONQUEST Team does in 2 episodes what most other shows haven't done over the course of a whole season... GIVE ME HOPE.
Tired of feeling sad and depressed at the end of Superhero show episodes? Well, heroism is back on the table! Teamwork and sacrificing for the greater good is also on the Menu!
What could the next 6 episodes of VisionQuest have in store for us?
- Intelligent Dialogue
- Connecting Plot Points
- A story-line that stays on its meds
And most importantly The development of this new Vision as he discovers who he is through the relationships he builds with Ultron and Tommy. Oh yeah... all while he is being hunted.
Todd Stashwick plays the part of Bounty Hunter Paladin with his typical roguish charm, opening us up to a character that could in itself be a whole other Marvel TV show.
VISIONQUEST episodes 1 & 2 get a solid A from us and we can't wait to see where the story goes next week.

The VHS release of Gremlins 2: The New Batch had a brilliant fourth-wall meta gag.
In theatres, halfway through, the “film” seems to melt, the screen goes black, and the Gremlins take over the projection booth. Hulk Hogan (in the audience) rips his shirt off, threatens them, and the movie restarts.
Joe Dante knew that gag wouldn’t work at home, so for the VHS release he filmed an entirely new version: this time, it looks like the Gremlins have gotten inside your VCR, and Hogan is replaced by John Wayne. Which, with modern eyes, looks like AI.
It kinda backfired and caused real confusion (much to Dante's delight). Video rental stores reported some gullible customers returning tapes for refunds, convinced the copy was defective.
Later DVD standard editions restored the theatrical Hogan version, but the John Wayne scene became so beloved it often appears on physical releases as a bonus feature.

Buy it, bring it to a show, and I’ll sign THE HELL out of it for you.
I’ll even sign it “F*ck Seth Rogen” upon request. 😜

Thank you Peter Cullen. RIP

🔺 The Stone Wall That Shouldn’t Exist?
At Ollantaytambo in Peru, an ancient wall continues to leave visitors and experts scratching their heads.
Massive stone blocks weighing up to 5 tons fit together so perfectly that not even a sheet of paper can slide between them. But what makes this even more mysterious is their shape. These are not simple rectangular blocks. Each stone has multiple angles, curves, and three-dimensional cuts, locking into neighboring stones like pieces of an enormous puzzle.
The most astonishing part? This precision was achieved centuries before modern machinery, power tools, or advanced engineering software existed.
Even more intriguing, these walls have survived powerful earthquakes that have destroyed many newer structures. Instead of collapsing, the stones seem to move with the earth and settle back into place.
How did a civilization often described as “primitive” achieve such remarkable precision? Were their methods far more advanced than we realize? Or has part of their knowledge been lost to history?
Standing before these ancient stones, it is hard not to wonder if we are looking at the remains of a forgotten engineering secret—one that still challenges our understanding of the past.
What do you think? Ancient genius, lost technology, or something else entirely?

NEVER BEFORE SEEN RUINS FINALLY EXCAVATED!
Today is a massive victory to all “conspiracy theorists & pseudo-archaeologists” who rightfully called out the Olive Trees that were planted on top of ancient ruins at GOBEKLI TEPE
As a result of the global backlash, authorities in Turkey have initiated excavations on the North side of the hill. Yet a significant % still awaits excavation
This is a great first step in the right direction, which is literally decades overdue
Now we wait and see to what extent the roots (of the nearly 1,000 olive trees) have done to damage the ruins that layer buried all this time…

Imagine this: you get paid by our tax dollars and you don’t even show up to do your job when it involves our tax dollars being stolen.
Wtf are these people doing in office if they don’t even care about our money being stolen and wasted? They are simply working against us.

An international fleet of tall ships arrived on the shores of New Jersey to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary
It’s like going back in time
It was a historical location gathering, "Nearly 250 years ago, it was here at Sandy Hook that George Washington's army drove the British from New Jersey” - Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a former naval officer
“It was from this day that the last British ships of the Revolutionary War departed."
The site is also home to America’s oldest continuously lit lighthouse, which has guided maritime navigators since 1764
